You could try it with a regular penlight also. See what happens with white light. ;)

Finally got something rigged up.
How can I post a .MOV file here?

Thanks for the edumacation, Beau. :D

And I am wondering under what conditions one would use these mirrors. Anyone know?

xoxoxoBruce 03-22-2009 12:46 PM

They separate colors by reflecting one and letting everything else pass through, but except for applications like the projector, I can't think of a use other than jewelry.

What is this?

To be fair, I have only resized this to dimensions more suitable for posting here. Yes, it *is* horribly overexposed. That's the only thing obscuring the obvious reality of the subject.

xoxoxoBruce 03-29-2009 12:56 AM

Your blanky. :haha:

It's corned beef. The first picture is blown out by the flash. What I was trying to do was capture the rainbow iridescence of the meat. I don't understand why this is this way. I sometimes see it in pork, but rarely in beef.

I smoked this brisket a couple weeks ago. It tasted great, and it was done, 165 in the center, but the meat could have continued cooking for another eight hours. It was not very tender.

Still, in this picture, you can make out the color difference in the muscle bundles. What makes it look that way?

What causes iridescent colors on meats?
Meat contains iron, fat, and other compounds. When light hits a slice of meat, it splits into colors like a rainbow. There are various pigments in meat compounds that can give it an iridescent or greenish cast when exposed to heat and processing. Wrapping the meat in airtight packages and storing it away from light will help prevent this situation. Iridescence does not represent decreased quality or safety of the meat.
but you knew that. :haha:

BigV 04-10-2009 12:43 AM

I didn't before but I do know.

Thank you, sir.

Still, when I see glowing meat, I steer clear.

disclaimer: this was not meant to be a double-entendre. Please refrain from the obvious joke. Thank you.

classicman 04-10-2009 07:51 AM

She said steer - get it? steer? lol

Shawnee123 04-10-2009 07:52 AM

Yeah, I meant that pun. Really. I did. ;)

Thanks for reminding me I'm clever even when I don't know it. :lol:

xoxoxoBruce 04-10-2009 11:20 AM

But but but, I love green eggs and ham. :D

Shawnee123 04-10-2009 12:30 PM

You would, Sam. :lol:

Seriously, are we just assuming that the ham is green? The eggs must be, but are eggs and ham a collective or individual entities (in which case one must say green eggs and green ham?)

Anyway, I love Dr Masseuse!

I said, green eggs...

dar512 04-11-2009 04:37 PM

Trivia - a green ham is one that has been cured but not smoked. I've had it. It's pretty good.

You guy share credit for this on.

I put a cd over my cup of hot coffee as a lid to keep it warm while I was away from my desk. When I returned, this was what I saw.

Nice work guys.

TheMercenary 04-12-2009 02:03 PM

The symetry of the bubbles is amazing. Ok, well not really but it is cool.

Does it get you as high as smoking pot?

Clodfobble 04-13-2009 04:08 PM

It looks like a lanyard where the pattern's been photoshopped into a larger image. (Though I only make the editing claim because you said it was a trick question. In general it just looks like a lanyard.)

Happy Monkey 04-13-2009 04:28 PM

No editing (in fact, this is the first pic that I took and uploaded directly to flickr from my new phone). Not a basket (though perhaps partial credit), and not a lanyard.

You can get a larger view by clicking the image, and then "All Sizes".

Yeah.. made with this stuff: gimp, lace, lanyard, craft strip...

Gravdigr 04-13-2009 04:35 PM

A trivet? You set hot pots on them?

Riiiiiight.


I'll pass, thanks.

Gravdigr 04-13-2009 04:44 PM

OK VJust pass it over here.

glatt 04-13-2009 04:47 PM

those look like soda bottle caps organized into a very pleasing pattern.

Happy Monkey 04-13-2009 04:52 PM

Glatt wins! It is the lids of my seltzer bottles (previously). The trick in the trick question is that I'm not sure what the end result is going to be. It could be a trivet (partial credit to Gravdigr). I'm also thinking about making it into a box (BigV's partial credit).

Gravdigr 04-13-2009 04:53 PM

Cool.

Pico and ME 04-15-2009 04:02 PM

No way .

xoxoxoBruce 04-15-2009 11:29 PM

That much seltzer would make me fart 24/7. :haha:
